Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1887-09-22


report must be made.
We could fill this column every
week with hopeful words reporting the
good work done by the w. G. I. U. in
other places, especially hopeful are the
reports from the South. Only by read
ing some temperance papers can any
one not familiar with the work, gain
much idea of the vast amount of tenn
perance work now carried on by
people who see the great needs and are
willing to exert themselves In the great
cause.
From Tampa Bay to Boston, from
California andMissouri come encourage
ing reports not only of the w. C. T. U. |
work but that among all classes of in
telligent people interest is accumulat-
ing.
Gen. Fairchild has aba ndoned smok-
ing. the habit having inhamed his ton
sils and threatened more serious results
The use of tobacco would be less dan
gerous if all men had mental strength
enough to let it alone when they dis
cover its damaging results.
Ii is reported that Oshkosh does not
permit, and puts herself on record
as saying, that she will not in future
permit, the playing of base ball on Sum-
day. If this is true, Oshkosh has men
worth being proud of.

The latest plan of the w. c. T. u.
women is the erection of temperance
temple in Chicago. Their isadquarters
at present are rented rooms, 161 La
Sale st. Chicago. 1t seems fitting
tn at the great cause should have its
own home, standing room, SO to speak
in the nation. The Union Signals con-
tain description and plans of the TOM
pie. The land is secured, but
possession of the site cannot be secured
until next May, When the laying of
the corner stone will be a great event
One lady has sent a solitaire diamond
worth one hundred dollars for the tenn
Pile. Our 100000 w. C. I. U. women
are expected to share in the building
and have their names laid under the
corner stone and their noble efforts laid
before the throne above. The Kansas
City Central w. C. T. U. has voted
800 payable on demand any time af-
ter Sept. 1, 1887. Matilda B. Carse
writes in the Union Signal about the
Temple. She says there never has
been any enterprise started by the W.
C. T. U. that has met with such
hearty cooperation as the Temperance
Temple. Congratulatory letters, gifts
and promises of aid are poured in on
all sides.
Temperance baby bands, new tenn
perance organization, unique as it is
delightful, is enrolling the babies.
The willingness Of ithe parents and |
ten cents makes a baby member of
the Temperance Baby Band. The fund
thus raised is for the Temperance Tenn
pie. Here is new work for some low
ing mother in the Lancaster w. G. 7.
U. We may not be sure that any
child thus enrolled will grow up tenn
pcrance man or woman but the in
f1uence will be in that direction.

Why has Lancaster no Y. NJ. G. A.
In town the size of Lancaster there
ought to be enough of christianity to
have taught righteousness; to have in
fluenced young men in the right dir
ections; to have rising generation of
christian young men. A wise man
said recently that town that wants 10
build its sidewalks with saloon licenses
cannot expect to have many young
men in the church. Apropos was Mr..
Grinnelps sermon last Sabbath. A wise
gentleman who listened said That SER
mon is just what the people need"

Our county fair officers prefer pro-
hibition at the fair. Morally two hum
dred dollars from the state is better
than license money from the saloon
keepers.
Why don't people. especially young
people, read more profitable matterP
Especially current history and politics
and temperance and christian. Biog-
raphY is the most interesting of all
reading. The lives of many prominent
men and women are far more interest
ing and profitable studies than most of
the characters in many much read
novels.
Last week Monday is the time usual
ly given to w. G. T. U. papers. l
spent much time in the dentists chair
at ~. D. IL. Reeds Office. With pleas
ure and gratitude feel it my duty to
say that think his cocaine for prevent
ing pain during the extraction OF teeth

the gum it is safer than gas. AS DR..
Reed makes no extra charge for using
it, it offers no choice like gas between
excruciating pain and one dollar. {
